There were two people standing by the wine cabinet.
The nanny was talking to Song Jingzhi.
"Madam, what should I do? Last time you…"
Song Jingzhi interrupted her.
"It was you who accidentally broke those two bottles of wine while you were cleaning."
"I, I...you didn't ask me to steal the wine and mail it away. How can you blame me?"
The nanny didn't expect her to be so insidious that she would take the blame for her.
She wanted to argue a few more times, but Song Jingzhi signaled her to shut up.
Liu Zhenxing has come over.
I don’t know how much I heard.
He glanced over the wine cabinet but didn't find what he was looking for.
"Where are my two bottles of Moutai?"
This question was asked to the nanny.
The nanny lowered her head, bit her lip and said nothing.
Anyway, she didn't take the wine, so you can explain it yourself, ma'am.
Song Jingzhi glanced at her and maintained her previous statement: "Zhenxing, those two bottles of wine were cleaned before..."
Liu Zhenxing raised his hand to interrupt her.
"I'm asking her, not you."
Then he turned around and repeated the question again.
The nanny who was called out could no longer remain silent and stammered, "I, I..."
I can't figure out the reason.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely stand on the lady's side.
Whatever the lady says is what it is.
But today, she had a hunch that if she admitted to this, she might lose her job.
So she was very conflicted and didn't know what to choose.
Liu Zhenxing already had an idea in his mind, and he cast a glare of oppression at the nanny.
Pressed again: "Is this question difficult to answer?"
The nanny subconsciously looked up at Song Jingzhi.
But she saw a smile on the other person's face, and a threat in his eyes that only she could understand.
The meaning was clear, she had to admit it.
I will die anyway, but I want to die with a clear conscience.
The nanny steeled herself and decided to tell the truth: "The madam asked me to mail those two bottles of Moutai to Donglin for her. It's none of my business. I didn't steal the wine, nor did I accidentally break it. If you don't believe me, you can check the post office's registration form. They were mailed out last week."
Only after the truth was told did the nanny finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Zhenxing's gaze just now was too sharp, and the pressure from a superior made her shudder.
Compared to a smiling tiger like Song Jingzhi, he is indeed a level higher.
So she chose to tell the truth to Liu Zhenxing.
After relaxing, she remembered to see Song Jingzhi's reaction.
But the threatening expression on his face had turned into...
Guilt, self-blame, and a hint of pity?
Before the nanny understood what was going on, she saw her step forward and hold the man's arm.
With a crying tone:
"I'm sorry, Zhenxing. I shouldn't have kept this from you... I sent the wine back to my parents' house. My dad was having a birthday party, and my eldest brother asked me to find two bottles of good wine to bring back for my birthday. I'm not going to drink them, but I'll send them back to me once the party is over."
Liu Zhenxing didn't push her away.
He glanced at the nanny first and said, "Go back to your room."
Then he said to Song Jingzhi, "Call Aunt Zhang back when you have time. This nanny has been fired. Those two bottles of wine were given by my comrades. One is for me, and the other is for Political Commissar Zhao."
Forget my bottle, let Dad keep it. We have to take back Political Commissar Zhao's bottle. He's a great wine lover, and Moutai from that vintage is practically unavailable anywhere else."
Take it back?
How to get it?
I'm afraid the wine has already been consumed by the Song family.
Song Jingzhi was dumbfounded.
She never expected that even though she said the wine was for her father-in-law's birthday party, Liu Zhenxing actually asked him to bring back a bottle?
Shouldn't I be generous and give both bottles to my father-in-law?
Besides, she didn't remember Liu Zhenxing having said before that one of the two bottles of wine was left for Political Commissar Zhao.
Liu Zhenxing usually likes tea but not wine. He almost never drinks the wine given by others at home and keeps it in the wine cabinet.
Song Jingzhi was born in a small family, and she has that kind of thinking in her bones: if she comes across anything good, she wants to take it back to her parents' home.
Liu Zhenxing is relatively honest and does not abuse his power for personal gain. He will not give the Song family any advantage because of Song Jingzhi.
Song Jingzhi wanted to help her parents' home, so she could only occasionally collect some food, drinks and other things from her own home and send them back to her parents' home.
Seeing that she was still distracted, Liu Zhenxing coughed and said, "Yu Ning happens to be in Donglin. Ask your eldest brother to give him the wine. He is in frequent contact with Political Commissar Zhao's son. Please bring the wine over for me."
"Okay." Song Jingzhi could only nod in agreement.
When the time comes, just put some Moutai from other years in the bottle to fool people.
If they are discovered, they will blame Liu Yuning.
The wine incident was over, but Liu Yuzhou’s incident was still not over.
Song Jingzhi struck while the iron was hot and explained, "Zhenxing, I read the news about Xiaozhou. What my eldest brother told me is completely different from what was written in the newspaper. I don't know what's going on.
Oh, blame me, I meant well but ended up doing something bad..."
She was about to cry and reached out to wipe away the non-existent tears.
Liu Zhenxing sighed.
"Okay, your brother can't do things, it has nothing to do with you. I'm going to Donglin to visit my old comrades in a while, and I'll also go to see my son. You can come with me."
The former evil son has now been changed to son.
Song Jingzhi suppressed the sarcasm in her heart and forced a smile on her face.
"good."
Geological team.
There is a delay in the post office delivering newspapers to the queue.
The newspaper had just been delivered to the geological team when the news was spreading like wildfire in the capital.
Secretary Wang was the first to get it.
Ask the union secretary to cut out the report and post it on the bulletin board.
All team members and their families can see it first.
Of course, Chen Wentao and his wife also saw it.
The report not only failed to criticize Liu Yuzhou harshly as they wished, but also failed to ruin his reputation.
Instead, he is making the other person famous? !
These days, other employees in the team have been secretly laughing at him.
Some people even speculated how long Liu Yuzhou could continue to serve as captain after he was reinstated.
When Chen Wentao heard what Zhao Changfeng told him, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
It was difficult to vent in front of others, so after returning home he smashed several teacups and said, "It's a shady deal! It's absolutely a shady deal! The Liu family must have put pressure on the higher-ups, so the reporters wrote this!"
Li Li was also unconvinced.
She, the commander-in-chief's wife, has not enjoyed her glory for many days. If Liu Yuzhou makes a comeback, it is only a matter of time before she is reinstated.
"Husband, how about you write another letter of denunciation?"
Chen Wentao shook his head. "It's useless. The report is out, and the matter is settled. Blame it on that kid's good fortune, having been reborn into the Liu family."
"Then what should we do? You've lost two teeth, are you going to let him go so easily? If he comes back, will you still be able to keep your position?"
Official position is what Li Li is more concerned about right now.
Chen Wentao snorted coldly, "Don't worry, wife, I have my own way to deal with it. Even if that guy is reinstated, he will come to clean up the mess for me."
He has now completely disrupted the team's original personnel structure, and the work progress is naturally a mess.
When Liu Yuzhou comes back, there will be plenty of traps waiting for him to fall into.
